Craft Book
by Ron Ware
1976 Hazel Pearson Handicrafts
16 Pages

Create elegant shapes and lines by simply cutting, forming, bending, and pounding, without using the advanced techniques and methods usually associated with jewelry making. Simple basic tools and materials are all that you need to create a piece of exquisite jewelry.

Using basic wires and metals, you can vary the quality from fine gold or silver to basic wire to suit your pocketbook and the style of the piece you wish to create. Form a casual brass chain or an elegant necklace of delicately interwoven hearts.

We are proud to present this unique departure from the long and involved process of making jewelry!

As you look through our book, you will notice that we've begun with the basics, starting with simple lightweight chains easily made by cutting, bending and connecting fine wire. From the lightweight wire we have advanced into heavier wires used to make pounded and flattened links and heavier chains. A wide variety of twisted, flattened, and formed earrings, instructions for tooling metal, how to add beads, stones and shells, working with flat sheet metal and shaping 1/2 round wire into rings and bracelets are just some of the many tips and hints of making jewelry we have shared with you.

The exciting variety of designs will make it easy to locate just the right piece for a special gift and the easy to follow directions will make each effort an adventure. So pick your favorite and start creating your own beautiful jewelry.
